The outside of the motel was well manicured. The location was convenient but quiet. The floors of the room were dusty/dirty and I found myself regularly needed to rinse off my feet.

Perfect for a solo traveler or couple looking for an affordable stay with many of the room amenities you could think of. Needed a place to stay that was more affordable than the other venues around Yosemite, without compromising on quality and comfort.
